    @olymay cheers for the tips.

    I am going to use power save tilt and see how that effect the battery. Hopefully in a positive way. I think my watch does disconnect quite often from my phone. I am 80% confident that it BT issues that could be causing my battery drain. I also uninstalled Spotify

      @binoworld-uk - if you watch is regularly disconnecting then yes it is going to drain battery. At the very least until you get this issue under control, switch off wifi, as when you lose connection it will auto activate wifi trying to get a wifi connection. However even with that off bluetooth trying to reconnect can drain - its loads better than it used to be, but still not great.

      Make sure that the wear os and the suunto app are white listed.Then also check the bluetooth settings on the phone for that paired connection. Also check the wear os and suunto app permissions - allow all permissions.

        @jamie-bg so, I used the watch in Airplane mode and power save tilt and it does hold it’s charge nicely however, what the point of having the watch without seeing some notifications…. I turned the BT back on and now it’s showing 110% usage next day 82% usage under battery starts. I am using IPhone 11Pro Max

        What a joke!

          @binoworld-uk this sounds like the issue is with the phone. Somehow it is draining the battery, possibly by dropping Bluetooth or something.

          The S7 itself has a phenomenal battery for a smartwatch. In the almost two years I’ve had my S7 it’s been connected to three different phones (Pixel 4XL, Pixel 5, Pixel 6 Pro) and it has had amazing battery with all of them. (this is with everything bar AoD turned on, I get >50hrs battery life)

          I have seen some other stories of iPhones not playing well with the S7 (and other non-Apple devices).

            @olymay to me it does sound like IOS and S7 are Not best buddies 🤣

            Is there a fix to this or troubleshoot that any other Iphone users could recommend please?

              @binoworld-uk I do not have this drain with iOS and an S7. How are your notifications set up? Also, are there apps on the watch that may attempt to communicate extensively with the iPhone?

                @brad_olwin my notification are very minimal approx 5 to 8 a day. I do not have any third party apps installed ans I use a Suunto face. I tend to leave the Wearos app open the background as well.

                  @olymay Update:

                  I did a full reset of the S7 and the issue is completely gone. I guess every couple of months a reset is probably a good thing 🤓

                    @binoworld-uk woop woop! I’m glad all seems to be good 😀

                    A periodic reset shouldn’t be needed . Keep an eye on it but hopefully this is the end of the issue 🙂

                      @olymay Thanks a lot for the power save tilt tip. For some reason I missed this option when I initially set up my watch (maybe because you first have to uncheck the other option.) I also changed the display brightness from medium to low as I don’t see a big difference, at least in the winter. This increased the battery life from ~36h to ~48h average, some days even more. That makes a huge difference for me. I can forget to charge the watch some day and still get 2 nights of sleep recording. Or I can go on a trip for a day without the need of carrying my charging cable. I have several third party apps and get a good amount of notifications, have 24h hr tracking and sleep tracking on. So I’m pretty happy now with this value. Needless to say I don’t get this value with outdoor activity, but with 1-1,5 hours of indoor sports I still nearly get 2 days. Obviously there is really a lot of movement throughout the day that activates the display without actively looking at the watch.
